The world is shifting. Antisemitism is on the rise. The West stands at a crossroads. Hatred was once whispered. Now it roars—and too many look away. But what happens when someone outside the Jewish community refuses to stay silent, instead choosing to speak out boldly and without apology? In A Light Still Burns, Michael Scott CSC—highly decorated Australian Army officer and founder of The 2023 Foundation—delivers a powerful and deeply personal call to conscience. Drawing from over three decades of military service and a transformative posting in Jerusalem with the United Nations, Scott offers a fearless defense of Israel and its values shared with the West, which are now under siege. With piercing clarity, Scott unpacks the horror of October 7, 2023—and the chilling aftermath on the streets of Sydney that compelled him to act. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, Scott exposes the new face of antisemitism, the ideological assault on truth, and the West’s slow moral decay. But there is also a light revealing a path forward. A Light Still Burns is a rallying cry—a passionate reminder that courage is contagious and in the face of darkness, even one voice can ignite hope.
